whom he cannot see?

In order to believe in something, you do not necessarily have to see it. You believe in electricity, yet you cannot see it. You believe in it only because you see its products such as light, heat, etc. If this is sufficient to make you a believer in the existence of electricity, the great universe should be sufficient to every human being to believe in the existence of its Creator.

You breathe his air and know that it is there do you not? Yet air is invisible!You think do you not? Yet I don't see your thoughts or you don't see your own either, but does that mean that you don't think? Ask a blind person how they know that the sun is shining, even though they are blind they know so you too can know that God is there even though you cannot literally see him. An atheist can also open their mind and see the truth.

The Bible declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). Looking at the stars, understanding the vastness of the universe, observing the wonders of nature, seeing the beauty of a sunset – all of these things point to a Creator God. If these were not enough, there is also evidence of God in our own hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” There is something deep down in our beings that recognizes that there is something beyond this life and someone beyond this world. We can deny this knowledge intellectually, but God’s presence in us and through us is still there. Despite all of this, the Bible warns us that some will still deny God’s existence, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Since over 98% of people throughout history, in all cultures, in all civilizations, on all continents believe in the existence of some kind of God – there must be something (or someone) causing this belief.

There is order to the universe. For there to be natural laws, there must be something which put these natural laws in place. Many theists, and also many atheists, picture God as a man with great powers. God is not a man, but a concept. God is what put the natural laws into place. Atheists are generally content to believe that things have order just because they do, and there is nothing which set the order, but I just can't conceive of that. The universe is to great to have occurred randomly.

We can be sure of His existence, because G-d is infinite. He has no shape or form, and He is everywhere. (do not be confused with the paintings showing Him as a man; he rly isnt a man or woman.)

secondly, in the creation of the world, Something had to make it. Its not like bacteria or somethin jst decided to create a planet and humans. this had to be done by a Creator. this creator is G-d. (by the way, G-d created earth to have a place to dwell where people would worship him and follow His laws so as to live great lives.)

an atheist could quite possibly believe in G-d if he or she realized that the materials that made earth were caused by G-d Himself.

Let me give you an example.

Harry Potter, a book about young children and their lives in a wizardy school. Wizardry is about magic.

Magic does not exist.

The Miracles that jesus and god made are in a sense be considered magic. For example, a burning bush, turning water into wine, etc.

Magic does not exist. Invisibity does not exist. Anyone who lives outside of time and space and in the clouds can in no way exist to me.

I know, and Alot of Other Stuff is Invisible too.
Plus, satan Blinds the Minds of the Unbeliever on Top of Everything Else.
The Creator has to Unblind your Mind and give you a Chance to say Yes to HIM (like HE did for Me--I said Yes), then, after your Spirit is Recreated (Saved) YOU will KNOW that HE is REAL--and Guess What? You WILL NOT be Able to Prove that HE Exist's to Anybody Else After that!
Kinda like a Twilight Zone Thing, Isn't it?
Ditto........
(atleast you'll be in Heaven after it is all over with)

The universe is complex and probably required a Creator. But which one? It seems that all cultures throughout human history have recognized the role of a Creator God.

The Creator defined by the North American Native Americans only asked that humans live in harmony with all nature. In exchange, the Creator provided plants and animals for humans to use as food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Early Native Americans showed their respect and appreciation to the Creator by making small offerings of tobacco.

The Creator God defined by Hebrew scholars, 6000 years ago in the Middle East, was a jealous, and often cruel God. He demanded that humans make sacrifices of animal blood in order to appease Him, and set out Old Testament laws of behavior that often required the stoning-to-death of your neighbor for sins as minor as eating shell fish or working on the Sabbath. These laws remained in effect for over 4000 years until Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and commissioned the first Bible from a collection of Hebrew scrolls and stories of Jesus. Religious scholars of today claim that the Old Testament God decided to change his original requirements for animal sacrifice and for stoning-your-neighbor-to-death for disobeying His written laws. This God, rather than having his human scribes re-write the laws on new scrolls, he decided to have His only Son sent to earth to be tortured and murdered.

I believe there is a Creator God. I just believe that his personality is more like the compassionate Creator God of the early Native Americans. If He turns out to be the cruel Middle Eastern God, and He throws me in Hell for thinking He is more loving than He really is, then I’m willing to accept with that fate.

Gods exist only in the imaginations of the superstitious. It's impossible for an atheist to believe in God. If he believed, he wouldn't be an Atheist.

The Almighty is not invisible, we are just so foolish we cannot see him. He will present Himself when necessary. It's his choice, not ours. The beauty of Faith is that "you believe without seeing" if someone cannot see God, (like me and you for example), it doesn't mean that He isn't there. There really isn't a way to explain to an Atheist the Wonder of Faith, but for all the atheist out there, read the bible, and you might be convinced....

Honestly, if Atheist were secure in their non belief they would be anywhere but places where believers are and they would respond any number of ways but anger and blaspheme would not be one. They would have basic respect for others. If the majority of Atheist were to come across a group of Scientology people, they would smile and keep walking. Not stop and have to verbally attack them. It was this simple observation of myself that led me face to face with Jesus.
